[𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑨𝑴𝑩𝒀𝑺 2024 𝑹𝒐𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒄𝒆 𝑭𝒂𝒗𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒆] [Featured by @�������� on Community Pride Recommendation Reading List - June 2025] "Outside, in the harsh light of day, the lines between us are too stark, too defined. Here, we can pretend that your world is black and white, and I am the blue that fills the space between. In black and white, I'm blue. And when I dance to your music, I'm home." In Black And White, I'm Blue is a story about a retired dancer who's struggling to find his place in this twisted world, and a young pianist carrying far too many secrets, barely contained behind the melodic pieces he composes. Meeting each other was destiny -- but fighting for each other is a choice. °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Tintinnabulation - Book Of The Month Jan 2025 - @CroodsGirl "A powerful, feel-good story about love and angst, In Black and White, I'm Blue will rip your heart into shreds and rebuild it with its beautiful characters, prose, and symbolism." - @CroodsGirl

Bestfriends Forever. Just bestfriends that spoke like lovers.. and that seemed to be enough for two teenagers who were scared to love one another. Emilia (Emily) Winters and Tyler Cavill. The two have been unseparated since they're born. First steps together.. first sugarcanes.. first burgers. They do everything together. Tyler's explosive and so is Emily. Emily's a badass, and so is 'The King of River High'. And both? Truest impulsive-indecisive people. And oh-yes, the rules. Rules are never meant to be broken. Not for these two. But then high school happened. Or should we say.. love happened? Everybody knows how the two feel. During a ritual interrogation of each other's dates-abiding by one of their rules-Emily expresses her frustration at never having a boyfriend because all the boys ended up scared of Tyler-and her dad, technically-since the two are actually teaming up to steer away Emily from other boys. Frustrated by his bestfriends' dynamic, Wyatt makes a bet. If neither Tyler nor Emily ends up dating someone else by the end of the highschool, Wyatt wins, proving they're in love. Ruined friendships. Ruined principles. Another rule break. Another heartbreak. And so.. Which path will they take? 🎖️ACHIEVEMENTS🎖️ #8 rulebreaker out of 821 stories #50 bestfriendstolovers out of 2.75K stories #32 richkids out of 3.61K stories #48 feelgood out of 4.21K stories #56 boynextdoor out of 4.11K stories #73 baseball out of 7.01K stories #230 childhoodsweethearts out of 12.4K stories #135 neighbors out of 12K stories #30 rules out of 6.21K stories #27 oldfriends out of 2.2K stories 🏁COMPLETED🏁 📅 Date: 24 07 24 / 24th of July 2024 📝 Word Count: 154.760 👩🏻‍❤️‍🧑🏻Character Visualization👩🏻‍❤️‍🧑🏻 https://pin.it/13KAnztST

In a war over the food court, an eager barista battles the confident competitor--and her own heart. *** Young barista Cora Chun takes pride in being a Cool Bean, even after years without a promotion. So when Farron Kam, the younger assistant manager of the competing smoothie shop, flaunts her hatred for her job, Cora is determined to crush her to a pulp.
